The Manor of Wareham Court Leet: a survival of an ancient local court, which existed long before the current parallel systems of local and central government.

These courts were once held in most towns and villages in the country, presided over by the Lord of the Manor and dealt exclusively with local matters. In particular, they addressed local government and policing issues such as trading standards and breaches of local rules.
